Either use Phil Blundell's patch (it includes NWFPE among other things) or
use the newer ARM FP module (it's on Russell's FTP site somewhere, I
forget where). Having said that though, I've never managed to get NFS
server to work properly on a 2.1 or 2.2 machine yet.
Phil's patches are in ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/p/philb/ (the name's
pretty obvious, and they apply on top of Russell's patch).
